Fort Worth is named in the charter Of
the Chicago, Rock Island and PaCIfC's
Texas extension, and it Will have its
southeastern terminus here. The western
line calls for Cisco. No town thirty-two
miles east of Fort Worth viii ever get the
Rock Island. This is official.
The Missouri Pacific is preparing TO
build from Henrietta to Archer City and
viii soon bring the people of that section
II communication with Fort Worth over

heartily cOngratulates Archer City on her
prospects CT getting a railroad on dirt
not Oh paper,
There can now be but little question
ina. The Gainesville-Dau branch of the
Santa Fe has been abandoned. II comes
too straight TO be doubted The road
Will run from Gainesville to
Mckinney and connect with the Paris
branch a number of miles above Dallas.
II is certain that this line will give the
company all they desire, for the Paris line
will do on which to run to Cleburne.
Dallas IS heartily sick Of her proposed
scheme TO parallel the old reliable Texas
and Pacific, The parallel talk has had its
eject. Fort Worth knows something
about railroads and knows that for years
TO come the Texas and PscifiC can handle
all the business Fort Worth's way would
be- when it became necessary. to say to
the Texas and Pacific you need another
track, and Fort Worth would help the old
reliable Texas and Pacific to build that
track. Fort Worth believes in helping
railroads not IN squeezing the life out of
them, and would scorn to jump on road
like the Texas Trunk and parallel it
every day in the week simply because it
was done Fort Worth would help the
Trunk with business and with money |
